Complicated
I raced through the first third of the book so quickly, but when I picked it up again the next day, it lost momentum. I found myself wanting it to just be over already about halfway through. I never found Evie/Lucca or her relationship with Ryan compelling, and once Devon entered the scene, it became absurd that he could legit solve any problem with his tech knowledge and hacking. It took the plausibility and realism outta the entire novel. I guessed either Ryan himself or George would be Mr. Smith. I wanted it to be Ryan so there wouldn’t be a cheesy ass ending where he and Evie/Lucca end up together. But alas they did.
